Solution 1

You treat it the same way as you treat all controls.
So you either drag it onto a form from your toolbox, or you add it to the Controls collection of another Control.

MyControl myControl = new MyControl
Form1.Controls.Add(myControl)

Form1 is my original form & ChartApperence is my another form.& I want to call chartapprence form dilog from form1 then how to do it

How to open a form is the absolute basics... Perhaps you should read a book before posting questions like that. It will not help you. You already gave the answer in your first question anyway... instance.ShowDialog.

but instance.showDilog() is used for forms but i have inherited usercontrole to my form so instance.showdilog is not get available

Sander Rossel 4-Apr-11 3:24am

So put your usercontrol on a form and show the form...

actually there is a class CurApp:System.Windows.Forms.UserControl in that class they have used their control & I want to add that class to my class ie. form class & showdilog.so that it will display chart dilog of second class thanks for replay

instance.showDilog() is not getting in form class after creating instance of class

Look at the answer below. It is pretty much what I was trying to tell you.

I forgot to vote your answer (and your patience) by the way. Have a 5.

Many thanks. Your answer pretty neatly sums it all up :)

Solution 2

I think you are confused about UserControl...

A UserControl is not a Form. It can't be displayed with ShowDialog. It is a control (like a Button or TextBox or whatever) which you can put inside a Form.

If you want to put controls inside a form and then display that form using ShowDialog, then you don't need a UserControl. Just add a Form in your project and put the controls inside it.

Exactly!

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 5-Apr-11 2:02am

Exactly. Also, there is no such thing as "call a class".
